Compact & V-Bank Filters

Clean-Link supplies compact and V-bank filter solutions for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and critical environments where energy efficiency and space optimization are key design considerations.

What Are Compact & V-Bank Filters?

Compact and V-bank filters are rigid, high-capacity air filters constructed with multiple pleated filter packs arranged in a compact or V-shaped configuration. This design maximizes media surface area while maintaining a shallow depth, allowing high airflow rates without excessive pressure drop.

They are commonly used as medium- to high-efficiency filtration stages in modern HVAC systems.

Key Functions in Air Filtration Systems

Compact and V-bank filters are used to:

• Capture fine and medium airborne particles

• Support high airflow volumes with low resistance

• Reduce energy consumption of air handling units

• Extend filter service life through high dust-holding capacity

• Protect downstream high-efficiency or HEPA filters

Their design supports stable system performance over extended operating periods.

Typical Applications

Compact and V-bank filters are widely applied in:

• Commercial office buildings

• Airports and transportation hubs

• Shopping malls and public facilities

• Hospitals and healthcare environments

• Data centers and technical rooms

• Industrial HVAC and ventilation systems

They are particularly suitable for systems with high airflow demand and limited space.

Filter Media and Efficiency Options

Clean-Link compact and V-bank filters are available with:

• Synthetic or glass fiber filter media

• Multiple efficiency levels according to applicable standards

• Various V-bank configurations and depths

• Rigid frames for structural stability

• Optional carbon-loaded media for odor control

Media and configuration selection can be optimized based on application requirements.

Advantages of Compact & V-Bank Filter Design

Compared to traditional flat or deep pocket filters, compact and V-bank designs offer:

• Higher filtration area within a compact footprint

• Lower average pressure drop at high airflow rates

• Improved energy efficiency

• Longer service intervals

• Stable airflow distribution across the filter face

These advantages contribute to reduced operating costs and reliable system performance.

Integration in Multi-Stage Filtration Systems

Compact and V-bank filters are typically installed:

• Downstream of prefilters for coarse particle removal

• Upstream of HEPA or terminal filtration stages (where required)

This staged filtration approach ensures balanced performance and system protection.

Selection Considerations

When selecting compact or V-bank filters, key factors include:

• Required filtration efficiency

• Airflow volume and system capacity

• Available installation depth

• Pressure drop limitations

• Energy efficiency and maintenance strategy

Proper selection ensures long-term performance and optimized system operation.
